The Brunswick River (/ˈbrʌnzwɪk/) is a river in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia, running through Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads.
The north arm (Marshalls Creek) runs through Ocean Shores, Billinudgel, Ocean Shores North and The Pocket. Marshalls Creek also connects to a canal in Ocean Shores North and South Golden Beach. The south arm (Simpsons Creek) runs through Brunswick Heads, Bayside and Tyagarah.
There is a lake at Tyagrah where the local Ti trees give the lake water a brown tint. This lake becomes a popular swimming hole in the summer months and is used by naturists who come down from Tyagrah Beach. The naturist area is only about 15 km before you get to Byron Bay.
Famous quotes containing the words river and/or south:
“Other roads do some violence to Nature, and bring the traveler to stare at her, but the river steals into the scenery it traverses without intrusion, silently creating and adorning it, and is as free to come and go as the zephyr.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A friend and I flew south with our children. During the week we spent together I took off my shoes, let down my hair, took apart my psyche, cleaned the pieces, and put them together again in much improved condition. I feel like a car that’s just had a tune-up. Only another woman could have acted as the mechanic.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
